Led by Chef Simone, who has been serving the very best of Brixham for over 20 years, this intimate restaurant showcases seafood straight from the market alongside Westcountry steaks, local meats and homemade vegetarian dishes – we recommend trying their Monkfish, Parma Ham, Clams & Samphire! Set in the heart of the harbour, it’s the perfect spot for a special evening with a panoramic view – it’s food in Brixham at its finest.

If you’re in the mood for something stylish and flavourful, Olive is a local favourite.

Known for its fillet mignon and indulgent Sunday roast, Olive offers a truly cosmopolitan twist on coastal dining.

Simply Fish & RockFish
No trip to Brixham is complete without traditional fish and chips. Simply Fish is a must-visit for perfectly fried local catch, served with friendly hospitality – and don’t miss their signature fish curry. RockFish is another beloved spot, where chefs select the day’s freshest fish straight from the market, ensuring every bite is as fresh as it gets.
Beyond seafood, Brixham boasts cosy cafés and delis where you can enjoy homemade cakes, cream teas, or a coffee with a harbour view. We highly recommend Liberty, Brixham’s first and original cocktail bar, which serves amazing cakes, cocktails, loose-leaf teas and savoury treats right on the quay.
